I never sing out loud because I'm afraid people will go, 'Shut up!'

The sum total of all my stop-starts have made me less concerned about the future. I'm just aware now that I'll always land on my feet somehow.
Joel Edgerton -
Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.
Joel Edgerton -
It's easier to play aggression and malevolence onscreen, often, than to hit softer notes.
Joel Edgerton -
There's never been a mathematical equation that says a good experience making a movie equates to a good movie, or a bad experience on a set is going to lead to a bad movie.

I just don't want to do crap movies, man, because I just love that I can get up and talk about them and talk to journalists about stuff that I'm really proud of.

You can road-test relationships.
Joel Edgerton -
I blame my work for a lot of things. I thank my work for a lot of things, too, but the trouble with being so passionately involved in work is that it becomes like a lover, like your partner, because it nourishes you.
